Personal Expression Platform

Christian Crumlish of Radio Free Blogistan writes about developing a Personal Expression Platform (PEP). This is exactly what I’ve been thinking of building for the relaunch of this blog. I’m constantly torn between wanting my own blog to be pointers (uh, links) for family and friends, reference material (notes and bookmarks) for myself, a public diary and a playground for writing and other literary experiments. PEP would facilitate all of these.

In practice, I think I’ll be dividing all this material through categorization. It’s not a perfect system (I seem to find categorization impossible), but ’s the best I can think of. Limiting access to the different levels isn’t all that important to me but implementing tiered access later would be trivial.
